2011 BMW 328

Asking Price Range

Estimated MPG

Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP), also known as "sticker" price, is a recommended selling price that automakers give a new car that is above the invoice price paid by the dealer. It is a price that does not include any options that can be added to a particular car style. When shown as a range, the prices are starting MSRPs, without options, for multiple styles for that model.

This price range reflects for-sale prices on Cars.com for this particular make, model and year.

These city and highway gas mileage estimates are for the model's standard trim configurations. Where there are optional features, packages or equipment that result in higher gas mileage, those fuel-economy estimates are not included here.

A great imrovement over my last BMW convertible

by Bimmer5 from Shreveport, Louisiana | September 10, 2014

This is my fifth BMW and fourth convertible, having previously owned a 330 convertible and two Z3s. My last car was a 330zhp sport sedan and I drove it nine years. The previous convertibles were rag tops and this is my first hard top--it is definitely an improvement in appearance, noise level and technology.
With the top up it looks like a coupe and down, it is a smooth riding, great handling machine. It is an automatic, something I haven't driven in many years, but don't worry, it is still fun. I do notice a slight hesitation when I start in regular drive mode, but shifting to sport cures that. And the paddle shifters add even more fun but take some getting use to.
The premium sound performs well with the top down and features such as navigation and idrive are easy to use.
The Bridgestone 18 inch run flats are a little rough, but better than previous iterations of Michelins I have had. The sport seats are great and the power bolsters mold to your body.
The inline 6 is plenty strong with ample torque in sport mode. My previous inline sixes performed well with hardly any mechanical issues. I expect the same with this one; however, the gas mileage is about ten percent less than my previous 330 six speed manual. But then again convertibles are heavier and it is an auto.
I don't notice any wind noise with the top up and I only detect one rattle so far that seems to come from where the rear drivers' side window meets the top. It goes away with the window down.
I am loving his car and glad it is certified with some original warranty remaining. BMWs do require expensive maintenance, but to me, they are worth it.

Outstanding

by JR - Michigan from Commerce, MI | August 27, 2014

The Good: This car is truly outstanding. Never have I owned a car that was as fun to drive. This would be my second BMW with the first one driven well over 100k miles. Honestly, that car was as solid the day it was sold and the day it was bought.
The Not So Good: Beware the day your car's warranty expires because costs of fixing and servicing are astronomical.

Love It! The Ultimate Driving Machine Indeed!

by Bimmer Fan from Northeastern Pennsylvania | May 18, 2014

Since the moment I drove it home, I was completely in love. It is a telepathic, completely responsive car. Acceleration is great, ride is smooth, handling is impressive, engine braking (and braking) is good, the audio system is fine (I'm a classical musician). It does what you think! It's so much fun to drive and every time I get into this car, I feel like myself and just enjoy the experience. I also love the heated steering wheel and seats (an option)! The dashboard/radio is a little old-school for my taste, and I wish I got the one with navigation (I hear the latest models have an improved dashboard and navigation).

Beemer vs Jaguar

by tedr from Minneapolis | March 30, 2014

I've been a jag fan for along time but decided to trade it in on a BMW 328i. The biggest difference is there are far more BMW 328i's on the road so Jag gets the "Unique" tag... other than that, the BMW drives sportier than my old XK8 and while it doesn't have the same power, its very responsive, quiet, tight, and sporty. It has a beautiful look and with the service package I bought for the next three years, I'll not have to worry about those expensive oil changes. Thus far i'll grade my experience an A+

Low profiles...

by 353 from California | November 8, 2013

I bought my 2011 convertible BMW less than a month ago and I already had to buy two new tires. :( I have never owned a low profile car with 18 inch rims... and apparently if you hit a pothole in this car, it can cost over $600 for your lesson. The tires are very expensive because they are run-flat tires since there is no room for a spare.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE driving my new car...but I wish I knew about the caution I need to take with potholes and the cost of these tires in advance. Oh well. Such is life. Thank God I was able to get the tires! America's Tires in Carson, best deals in town...
Signing off,

Best car I've owned so far

by jpe2796 from Warwick,NY | October 25, 2013

I absolutely love everything about this car! It has a very smooth ride and handles turns unlike any other car I've been in! I feel very comfortable and SAFE in this car. Very reliable and sporty looking. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend!

Everything that I was looking for!

by Kimmy from Tumwater, WA | September 16, 2013

This car was a great value! It has all the features of a brand-new BMW with the exception of heated seats. The car is a head turner and is extremely comfortable for long distances and is very fun to drive!

Second Bimmer

by BIMRUP from Upland, Ca. | June 8, 2013

My second Bimmer. Got hooked on the Ultimate Driving Machine after driving a friend's older 528. Truly a driver's car. Prefer performance/sport feel to luxury. My first was an 04 330ci that I bought in 06. Just traded it for an 11 328i coupe CPO with the M Sport Pkg. Performance and handling comparable, but the 330 didn't have the sport pkg. And it was a 6 spd. The 328 has the paddle shifters. Jury out on the 328, just bought it yesterday. Only had 16, 000 miles on it. Will tint the back three windows and possible custom wheels later.

bmw review

by nat from sarasota, fl from | June 4, 2013

I purchased 2011 bmw 328i with 17k mileage. This car runs like a dream. The best feature in the car is sound insulation, just a very mild noise can be heard on acceleration. They run flat tires, so when your happen to have a flat tire, car will go as far as 150 miles without having to stop and change tires. What a great feature. Interior combines classic looks with modern features. I love stitching on the leather, looks very sturdy. Even dashboard is wrapped in grainy leather just like the rest of the interior. Blue tooth and radio controls are stratigecally placed on the steering wheel.
